Full-spectrum light washing is even worse than censorship
At least is something is censored, you can usually get past the censorship
to find the original in its unadulterated form. The redefinition of what
once was into something else robs it of its flavor.
In that light, imagine the only condiment that "old white men" legally
allow is mayonaise... now imagine that "curry" is redefined as "salt" and
you have a new appreciation for his insidious is Newspeak
